Collimated
CAE is one of the largest producers of collimated displays in the world. Our continuous collimated displays have been a standard CAE offering for many years, both as part of a complete CAE Tropos™ visual system or on a stand-alone basis, and are the preferred choice of commercial users.
Collimation is designed for cross-cockpit viewing, allowing a pilot and co-pilot to achieve maximum training benefit simultaneously. Collimated displays provide continuous, high-brightness, high-resolution imagery to the flight crew over the required field-of-view (FOV). The latest technology liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS) projectors are used to deliver the ultimate visual experience.
CAE's collimated displays are supported by an autocalibration system fully integrated with the image generator, greatly reducing the effort required to maintain a visual system in top shape. Autocalibration systems have been standard features of CAE visual systems around the world for more than ten years.
Extended field-of-view collimated displays
Extended vertical field-of-view (FOV) collimated mirror displays are also available, providing enhanced visual cues in military applications such as helicopters and fixed wing transport aircraft performing air-to-air refueling.Extended horizontal fields of view are also very useful for specific civil aircraft training exercises such as visual circling approaches. To meet these requirements, CAE’s latest LCoS-based display solutions include a 210 x 40 degree FOV, significantly exceeding Level D requirements.
